All seemed well but then I discoverd a funny bug though. When I press
"cancel" at the password prompt and then launch firefox again, then I
don't get the password prompt anymore and firefox just opens instead at
the chosen profile i.e. simply as if no password request was present.

Obviously this behaviour isn't favourable as the whole point of the
extension is to bring up a password prompt. Anyone else have this
problem? Any solutions? Does anyone know of any other password
extensions to protect profiles?

I could be wrong on this, but after looking at the home page, it might
be for linux use only. Why don't you reply to the posting there?
